PRESERVATION AND STORAGE
General
There is no practical procedure that will ensure
corrosion prevention on installed aircraft
engines. Geographical locations, season and
usage all influence the degree of corrosion. The
owner/operator is responsible for recognizing
the conditions that are conducive to corrosion
and for taking appropriate precautions.
Corrosion can occur in engines that are flown
only occasionally, regardless of geographical
location. In coastal areas and areas of high
humidity, corrosion can occur in as little as a few
days. The best method for reducing the likely
hood of corrosion is to fly the aircraft at least
once every week for a minimum of one hour.
NOTE:
Corrosion may reduce engine service
life. Primary wear concerns are
cylinders, piston rings, camshaft and
lifters.
